This is a mash up of the chorus of “Moments (an unreleased song co-written with Evangelia in 2018) and "Last Good Day” (started on a retreat in Big Bear in 2020). It’s the debut of Nathan Irving & renaissance boy (Sleeping Lion’s solo projects) and features a verse from Souveneer.

["Moments"]
We’ll only have moments
When we’re done
Only have moments
And hope they’re enough
Only have moments
I don’t wanna fuck them up
By worrying where this is going
Cause baby we only have…
["Last Good Day"]
[Verse 1: Nathan Irving]
We had a couple hours til I had to leave so
I tried like hell to make that time pass slowly
Crying by the river I was sure there’s nothing more I could need
I wish I knew
I wish I knew
So we had some drinks
You rest your head on my shoulder
Under covers on the couch
Keeping warm as the room got colder
Eating food in your apartment as it started to rain
I wish I knew that was our last good day
I wish I knew
I wish I knew that was our last good day
[Verse 2: renaissance boy]
Late at night I snuck out of the house
Took a drive around to your side of town
Just to watch a documentary about suburban murder with you on the couch
I wish I knew
I wish I knew
And for a second we pretended that we’d actually changed
Talked it out til we had nothing to say, same page
You kissed my cheek as you asked me to stay
I wish I knew that was our last good day
I wish I knew
I wish I knew that was our last good day
[Verse 3: Souveneer]
Oil paint in your fingernails, a chip in the plate
Me and your dad sat up late with nothing good to say
Never really won over your brother but I thought that would change
I wish I knew
I wish I knew
Paid the speeding ticket from my previous visit to your house
We laughed about it in the safety of a secret hideout
I let the air out of the mattress, then let you slip away
I wish I knew that was our last good day
I wish I knew
[All: Nathan Irving, renaissance boy, Souveneer]
I wish I knew that was our last good-
[Outro]

While on a retreat to Big Bear in 2020, we decided to separately write verses over a track with the prompt “I wish I knew that was our last good day”. We both shared our stories and the two verse song stayed as it was for nearly two years.
Then, in a late-night burst of inspiration, we decided to t...
